ATTORNEY-ADVISER (GENERAL)

Military Grades: O3/CPT, O4/MAJ, O5/LTC GENERAL EXPERIENCE: Two years of professional legal experience at or equivalent to the GS-11 level. The second professional law degree (LL.M.) plus 1-year of professional legal experience at or equivalent to the GS-11 level. An attorney without experience may, in unusual cases, be employed at the GS-12 or equivalent level provided the individual has advanced educational attainments substantially beyond those required for work at the GS-11 or equivalent level, and his or her education clearly indicates ability to perform work of the type to be assigned; for example, education that included courses directly pertinent to the work of the agency. The essential point in such cases is to ensure that the individual's education has enabled him or her to step into complex legal work characteristic of the GS-12 or equivalent level, and to operate with the degree of independence and responsibility typical of that level. SPECIALIZED EXPERIENCE: The attorney shall have professional legal experience in excess of 3 years that is commensurate with the duties and responsibilities of the position. Attorney-Advisors at his grade level expected to perform with substantial independence even when working on the most complex or difficult matters. Must be an active member of the bar in good standing in any State, territory of the United States, or the District of Columbia. You must possess the first law degree, a LL.B or a Juris Doctorate (J.D.) from an accredited ABA law school, and, applicants at a minimum, must have in excess of three years of post-J.D. legal experience, one of which was specialized experience at, or equivalent to, the GS-13 grade level. Specialized experience is commensurate with the duties and responsibilities of the position. The quality of the individual's background may be evidenced by the relatedness of his or her specialization.
